Stand clear of the bloody loss
G
Stand clear of the booring chores
D#
Stand clear of the mesmerizing cross
C
Stand clear of the dominating stores
Stand clear of the closing souls
Stand clear of the hideous crimes
Stand clear of the poor souls
Stand clear of the mounting grimes
Of the lost souls stand clear
Of the paralyzing tides stand clear
Stand clear of the dirty souls
Of the war weeping times stand clear
Stand clear of the bloody cross
Stand clear of the blearing sounds
Stand clear of the bloody laws
Stand clear of the hare and hounds
Stand clear of the bloody souls
Of the opressing bounds stand clear
